By August [[3026]] the friendship between Jaime Wolf and Minobu Tetsuhara has deepened, even though the latter is no longer liaison officer to the Dragoons but commander of the [[Ryuken]], the training cadre being built to adopt the Dragoon battlefield excellence. He is officially reinstated as a MechWarrior and assigned a DRG-1N ''[[Dragon]]''. The new Dragoon liaison officer, meanwhile, is none other than [[Jerry Akuma]], who immediately starts using his position to hamper and harass the Dragoons to the best of his abilities, by creating supply shortages and bureaucratic hurdles for them.

The first joint operation of Wolf's Dragoons and the Ryuken is an attack on [[Barlow's End]] in September 3026. After the Ryuken and Dragoon officers formulate a plan to acquire a certain prize from the [[Achernar Proving Grounds]] facility (a prototype later referred to as a jump stabilizer), Tetsuhara's hovercar is sabotaged by an inside agent and bombs are planted near the Ryuken field HQ on Barlow's End. When they go off during the night, Tetsuhara and Dragoon officer [[Kelly Yukinov]] use the car to reach their post and are injured when it crashes. Tetsuhara is maimed; he is evacuated on a Draconis Combine [[DropShip]], and Akuma goes with him. (A later report by Akuma to Warlord Samsonov confirms that Akuma was responsible for the sabotage and implies that Akuma even tried to have Tetsuhara killed aboard the DropShip; he expressed regret at the physician's skill and ethical code.)

With both the Ryuken commander (Tetsuhara) and the Wolf's Dragoons liaison officer (Akuma) off-world, command falls to ''[[Tai-sa]]'' (colonel) [[Elijah Satoh]], a haughty but incompetent officer. The operation runs afoul of much stronger resistance than expected in the form of the [[White Witches]] and [[Eridani Light Horse]] mercenaries. Satoh cannot adapt to the changing situation and the attack unravels. The Dragoons only manage to destroy the prototype, not capture it, before being forced to retreat. Accusing the Dragoons of abandoning him, Satoh refuses to evacuate until his HQ comes under attack on the following day. At that point, Michi Noketsuna decides he is a liability for the Ryuken and shoots him after all others have left the HQ.
